Benham Brothers’ show on hold: HGTV has decided not to move forward with the Benham Brothers’ series, according to a post on the network’s Facebook page.

Brothers and real estate entrepreneurs Jason and David Benham were set to star in “Flip It Forward,”a series where the duo would help families transform a fixer upper into a dream home, which was expected to begin airing in October

But, the show has since been cancelled following news about one of the brother’s participation in anti-gay rallies. On Tuesday, Right Wing Watch wrote an item titled “HGTV Picks Anti-Gay, Anti-Choice Extremist For New Reality TV Show” which shared details about David Benham’s anti-gay past.

According to the site, Benham,” led a prayer rally outside of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2012, which he told conservative radio host Janet Mefferd was needed to stop ‘homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation’ and ‘demonic ideologies tak[ing] our universities and our public school systems’”.

Following the news, the network wrote on Twitter, “HGTV is currently in process of reviewing all information about the Benhams and we will provide an update as soon as possible.”

“HGTV is not moving forward with the Benham Brothers’ series at this time. We’re not commenting beyond this statement,” an HGTV spokeswoman said.

Boxer Suspended: Adrien Broner has been suspended by the World Boxing Council after making racially insensitive comments after beating Carlos Molina.

Following Saturday night’s match, Broner stated, during an interview with Showtime, “Anybody can get it. Africans. I just beat the f*** out of a Mexican.”

On Wednesday, the WBC suspended the boxer and demanded an apology for the discriminatory comments made by Broner following the fight.

“The World Boxing Council holds human equality as its banner and will not accept a former WBC champion to make racially offensive statements,” the WBC wrote in a statement posted on its Website.

“Since words have different meanings and can be interpreted in different ways , the WBC is issuing this open letter to Adrien Broner to either clarify what he meant with his words or to issue a public apology if those words were intended to be despective and offensive,” statement continues.

“Adrien Broner is hereby suspended from participating in any WBC sanctioned Championship and will be excluded from the WBC Ratings until the time he makes a public apology satisfactorily to the public of the world .”

Wu-Tang Clan Taps Cher: The upcoming Wu-Tang album will include a collaboration with singer, actress and pop Diva Cher, according to Rolling Stone and Forbes.

In an exclusive, Forbes sent a reporter to Morocco of listen to the one copy only album titled “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” and a snippet was posted on Youtube.

In one song on the video, Cher’s distinctive voice can be heard stating, ”Wu-Tang, baby. They rock the world.”

Earlier this year, the Staten Island hip hop collective announced plans to sell only one copy of the upcoming release.

“We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of [modern] music,” Wu-Tang member RZA told Forbes. “We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king.”

The approach by the group is quite different from what is currently gaining steam by music industry veterans, including social media album launches and controversial promotional figures.

The album of 31 songs with the entire Wu-Tang Clan has been in the works for six years and will travel to festival, museums, and exhibitions to provide a listening experience, but will only be sold to one person.

In April, RZA told Billboard that hip hop collective has been offered as much as $5 million for the album.

“So far, $5 million is the biggest number,” RZA stated. “I don’t know how to measure it, but it gives us an idea that what we’re doing is being understood by some. And there are some good peers of mine also, who are very high-ranking in the film business and the music business, sending me a lot of good will. It’s been real positive.”

The group’s Website for the upcoming album states, “History demonstrates that great musicians such as Beethoven, Mozart and Bach are held in the same high esteem as figures like Picasso, Michelangelo and Van Gogh. However, the creative output of today’s artists such as The RZA, Kanye West or Dr. Dre, is not valued equally to that of artists like Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst or Jean-Michel Basquiat.”

The group continues, “Is exclusivity versus mass replication really the 50 million dollar difference between a microphone and a paintbrush? Is contemporary art overvalued in an exclusive market, or are musicians undervalued in a profoundly saturated market? By adopting a 400 year old Renaissance-style approach to music, offering it as a commissioned commodity and allowing it to take a similar trajectory from creation to exhibition to sale, as any other contemporary art piece, we hope to inspire and intensify urgent debates about the future of music. We hope to steer those debates toward more radical solutions and provoke questions about the value and perception of music as a work of art in today’s world.”

The hip hop collective have long been keen on breaking the mold. The group grew a strong following throughout the years for its samples of dialogue from 1970s Chinese action movies and references to Shaolin Kung Fu.

“Twenty years ago, Wu-Tang was breaking ground,” Common told The Wall Street Journal, when explaining a Game of Thrones hip hop mix. “Nowadays, people are open to anything. There are no limitations in hip-hop culture.”
